Hypoventilation resulting from use of additional breathing
system filters!
Using additional breathing system filters (breathing system filter,
bacteria filter or combined breathing system/bacteria filter)
increases the dead space volume of the overall system. Increased
dead space volume may lead to hypoventilation. This can cause
serious or life-threatening injury to the patient.
 Use only approved accessories.
 Pay attention to increased dead space volume when ventilating
at low tidal volumes.
1. Connect the ventilation hose to the ventilation hose
connection.
